s/you/most people/ in line 4. I recently started working with the
roundup issue tracker, and I find the #sha: tags at the end of every
file quite noticable.
I really can't explain why, but I've always detested Emacs (and now
vim) variable setting, coding cookies, RCS ids (except as variable
initializers), embedded changelogs, and similar cruft, while finding
copyright notices, to do lists, and lisp-mnt conventions acceptable.
I doubt I'd mind an additional line or two of lisp-mnt-style headers.
My settings for hide-copyleft normally hide them, for one thing.
